 HUGE disappointment, DON'T buy!!Dec 30, 2008
By John Jobes
"Real World" review here: I was so ridiculously disappointed with this baby bath that I have gone out of my way to write a review for the FIRST time.
We bought this mainly for the shower attachment because it seemed like SUCH a great idea! BUT, after opening the box, we found out what a cheap, worthless piece of crap this really is. Here's why:
01. The hose/tube for the shower attachment is made out of a thin, shiny, sticky, vinyl that twists and crimps easily. In fact, right out of the box, it was already twisted and crimped and I tried to straighten it out (so water could get through), but I had no luck. It was like the tube had a memory of its own because every time I tried to straighten it out, it kept going back to it's crimped/twisted shape.
02. The shower head has a button to turn on the battery operated pump, BUT it's not an on/off button!! You have to continuously PUSH (with alot of pressure) the button on for the water to come out. If you subtly push less, the water will stop or just drizzle out. SO, you have to push HARD continuously and after about 15 seconds, the tip of your finger is aching. I am a guy and can take some pain, but this is just insane. Did they test this product themselves and think, "Yeah, we want it to be difficult to keep this thing on . . no pain no gain.". ALSO, if you are so lucky to straighten out the tube, the water pressure is WEAK. I know there shouldn't be alot of water coming out for a baby, but pouring water over our baby's head took 1/10 the time it took to get the soap out with the shower attachment . . . go figure.
03. The pump takes 6 AA batteries which I guess isn't so bad, but it seems a little over excessive. I have no clue how long they last since the first time we used the bath, was our last time. The pump is also LOUD which scared our little one.
04. The tub itself was OK because it had a pad glued to the bottom, but there were no "stops" built in to prevent our baby from throwing herself backwards in the tub. Other tubs have a raised area in between the legs to prevent this from happening.
Overall, this was a HUGE disappointment. The user experience is not only difficult, but abysmal. I am flabbergasted at how a product like this can actually make it to market. Summer should be ashamed of themselves.

Did not live up to my expectationsNov 04, 2007
By April M. Williams
I was really excited to get this tub because of the shower feature with it. I was really looking forward to also using it when she got big enough to sit in the bath tub. It was great until my baby was about 3 months old and the pump stopped working. I exchanged it for another and the pump in that one stopped working within a month. I gave up. Just get a regular bath tub and then get the Safety 1st Tubside Bath Seat. It is great.

Don't Buy for the ShowerJan 06, 2009
By Mark Wright
The tub itself is OK, but the shower part is lacking. It does have a temperature indicator on it, which is nice, but the rest is disappointing.
First, it takes 6 AA Batteries. These batteries are behind two covers, inside a pump unit that screws into the shower reservoir. To change the batteries, you have to take apart the reservoir, twist and push and twist again on the pump to remove from the reservoir top, then twist off a water-tight cap (that obviously doesn't keep water out as evidenced by the rusted screw inside), then unscrew the second cap so that you can get to the batteries. Forgive me as I insert my standard gripe - I shouldn't need a screwdriver to change the batteries in something like this! A child has no business playing with this - it isn't a toy! When not in use, it should be stored. Watch your children - monitor their activities. While I've never personally known of a child who tried to swallow a battery, I bet if they were properly supervised, this couldn't happen! End rant.
Anyway, the batteries only last long enough for about three baths. We used your basic Energizer alkaline batteries through the first two battery changes. There won't be a third as we've stopped using this shower.
The other issue with the shower was that the button is located underneath a waterproof seal as it would need to be. However, the button is pretty small and can be hard to find. Then once you find it, you have to keep holding it, which can also be difficult.
I would not recommend this tub/shower system. There are nicer tubs you can buy for the same amount of money or equally as nice tubs without a shower unit for less money. Take your pick of those, but stay away from here.

 It's OKDec 30, 2008
By New Face Mama
The one feature I really like about this tub is the sling. I like that I can use the sling by itself in the sink, or prop it in the infant tub. I also like the size of the tub - it's very roomy, and I have big babies. The shower feature is worthless - it has never worked correctly.
The sling did wear out when my third baby was 2 months old, and I received a new tub as a gift. This shower doesn't work, either, but I still love the sling, so am keeping it. If it hadn't been a gift, though, I'd have decided that the sling didn't make up for the other deficiencies, and I'd have purchased a different tub.
